Testimonials for My Other Courses
Invaluable
Sydney Patton

“Stacy’s class has been invaluable! Before I took the course, my editing was disjointed—like throwing all my know-how at a wall and seeing what sticks. I love a good map. The lessons were great, but that checklist! After writing I can get frazzled, and it’s like having my pre-frazzled brain’s plan.”

Brilliant!
Lisa Hawes

“This course is simply brilliant! The printables sit conveniently in a binder on my desk to refer to during all phases of the writing process. This course provides the knowledge to save authors hundreds in editing fees. Do we still need editors? Absolutely! However, they won’t have as much work to do to help you make your book the best it can be.”


Makes Editing Simple
Marsha Hinton

“This is a clear, step-by-step editing guide for authors. I’m a checklist person, and this course has been a real boon for me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

Write Arguments That Deepen Character and Drive the Plot. 
What If You Could . . .

Identify why a confrontation scene isn’t working before you rewrite it five different ways.

Understand what each character brings into an argument.

Control escalation so tension builds without veering into melodrama.

Revise conflict using the same criteria a developmental editor applies.

Strengthen turning points so they change the direction of the story.


The 3-Part Framework 

Part 1: Why They Argue 
Pinpoint the trigger, the unresolved issues, and the conflict patterns across different relationships—between family members, romantic partners, coworkers, friends, and strangers.

Part 2: Write the Fight 
Learn how to blend dialogue, pacing, body language, internal thought, and word choice. 

See how escalation looks different in a restrained exchange, a shouting match, or a physical fight, and how stylistic choices can mark your writing as amateur.

Part 3: Rewrite the Fight 
Study how an editor breaks down 8 argument scenes, showing you what was revised and the reasoning behind it. 

Get Instant Access to:

6 modules and 18 lessons (videos with captions and written instruction).

80-page conflict workbook (printable PDF or fillable Google Doc) so you can think through conflict scenarios before writing or rewriting them.

85-example media list of books, movies, and TV shows, organized by relationship and conflict type.

Annotated conflict scenes from my published fiction, with commentary explaining craft decisions.

Critique vault of four student excerpts  with developmental notes and line edits.

Bonus 30-minute line editing workshop replay and four annotated romance critiques.

Includes lifetime access and a 7-day money-back guarantee.

Hi, I'm Stacy Juba.

As a developmental editor, I’ve worked on more than 300 manuscripts. When conflict collapses, my margin notes often look like this: 

  • “Everyone’s getting along too well.” 
  • "There’s too much smiling and laughing.” 
  • “Why didn’t this upset her?” 
  • "This is starting to feel cartoonish.”

Sometimes a writer skips a pivotal confrontation, hoping it won’t be missed. It always is. 

Other times, the argument goes too far and reads more like a soap opera than a novel.

Rewrite the Fight grew out of correcting these patterns again and again.
